INVALIDS CABINET-COMMODE.

Application filed. October 18, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN J ONES, citizen of the United States, residingat Salem, in the county of Marion and State of Oregon, have invented newand useful Improvements in Invalids Cabinet Commodes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a cabinet and commode, especially designed forinvalids use.

It consists in a combination of parts and in details of construction,which will be more fully explained by reference to the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section takenthrough YY of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a section through X-X of Fig. 1, withcommode inclosed. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the commode drawnout.

It is the object of my invention to provide a chamber convenience whichis particularly useful for invalids.

As shown in the drawings, A is a cabinet which may be provided withdrawers or receptacles B in the upper portion, and is made in anydesired ornamental form.

The lower portion comprises a suflicient space to receive a commode andhas rails 2 upon each side. The rails are so located that when thecommode is in place, it will be supported upon the rails with its casteror bearing wheels 3 above the floor level. The front ends of the railsare beveled or inclined, and

rollers 4 carried on the rear of the bottom of the commode, will travelupon the rails so as to lift the rollers 3 from the floor, as beforestated, and when the commode is withdrawn, the rollers 4 move down theinclines of the rails, so that the rollers 3 may rest upon the floor.When the commode is in place within the cabinet, inclines 5 upon thefront of the bottom, coincide with and rest upon the inclined portionsof the rails 2 and form a solid sup ort.

T he commode itself is shown at 6 and is in the form of a box withsides, back, bottom and a front with a door opening. The top or seatportion 7 may be hinged or removable, and the receptacle 8 has a rim 9projecting so as to slide upon rails 10 fixed to the lower side of theseat, and it may be re- Specification of Letters Patent.

i moved or replaced through the front door opening.

A cover 11 is hinged at the rear and may be opened to disclose the seator closed over it. 12 are side arms having the front lower ends pivotedto the sides of the part 6, as shown at 137 The upper rear ends arepivotally connected at 14.- with links 15, the upper ends of which areconnected with the cover 11 so that when the cover is closed, the twoform an elbow or hinge oint and the arms are folded down against thesides. When the cover is opened, the arms are simultaneously raised intoposition, and their rear ends have pins or lugs 16 which interlock withnotches 17 on the links. At the same time projecting pins or lugs 18engage with notches or sockets 19 on the sides of 6 and thus hold thearms firmly in place so as to provide an often needed support.

The rear of the commode box has stops 20 which engage the front of therail 21 of the cabinet to limit the forward movement of the box, but ifit is desired to entirely remove the box from the cabinet, the stops maybe disengaged by slightly tilting the box to the 3 rear to allow thestops to pass the rail.

1 Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent is 1. In a device of the character described, thecombination of a cabinet, a commode box movable into and out of thecabinet, a seat and a hinged cover therefor, substantially bell-crankarms at the sides of the box having their front lower ends pivoted tothe sides of said box, and links pivotally connected with the upper rearends of the arms, said links having their upper ends connected with thecover, lugs on the rear ends of the arms adapted to interlock withnotches on the links, and other lugs on the arms adapted to engagenotches or sockets on the sides of the box whereby the arms are firmlyheld in place in an elevatedposition when the cover is open.

2. In a device of the character described, a cabinet having inclinedsurfaced rails, a commode box with bearing wheels or casters, guidewheels movable upon the rails of the cabinet to raise or lower the boXin unison my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- I Withitsintrolduotion or removiil, stops to limit nesses.
